Tomomi's Room: [color=fff200]"Yes you're 'awake' in the sense that you're mentally conscious of the events happening around you. You can make choices, decisions, and rationalize things. I wouldn't call this really being conscious all too much though. This state of being is different and hard to explain. I don't even believe I have the words for it. But yes when I do hurry things tend to get...messy for all intents and purposes. That's why I don't like being rushed."[/color] Michael stated calmly as he brushed a lock of blonde hair out of his eyes and chuckled. [color=fff200]"I suppose I should be glad you're so eager to get going. However I am confused. I expected...more if you would. No questions about this room? Who I am? Just acceptance? Hm...all the same to me in the end I suppose. What should I expect from a girl your age?"[/color] Michael said as he turned around turning his back to Tomomi and holding for a moment before sighing. [color=fff200]"It would seem our other guest is being a problem. You'll have to wait a moment longer or otherwise you may end up getting a headache. It's a side effect from one of my abilities."[/color] Michael stated more annoyed than upset that he'd need to prologue this meeting. He patiently tapped his hand on the wall waiting. ==== Akira's room: [color=fff200]"I wouldn't say my attire is meant to display my rank or something of importance. It is simply how I like to dress. Nothing makes a statement more than a suit. And for the other part of your question about who I am....I guess if we keep going by job terms like in a circus than I guess you could call me the accountant. Or more aptly a librarian or chronicler I keep track of the who's, the what's, and the how's. The why's and when's are not a part of my job. It's a tiring and almost thankless job but I enjoy it none the less. After all I wouldn't be much if not for it."[/color] Michael chuckled as he looked around the room and make a clicking song with his tongue and shook his head as he looked around some more. [color=fff200]"As for that thing...I believe would be a work around. A useful device made for you by my boss. The one who called you here today. It will give you a facade. A very useful thing for protecting yourself from the lies you've built around your psyche. More will be told once you are ready to go and meet him."[/color] Michael stated as he then thought for a moment before responding to the last question. [color=fff200]"This room serves it's purpose just like anything else does. This room is just as much a a part of your mind as your personality. It was crafted in a way that speaks too you personally. One could say you made this room as an extension of yourself. Now if that would be all perhaps you'd like to continue and put on that mask. Once you do you won't be able to take it off until you meet the ring master of this carnival. It is to protect your identity from the other guests tonight AND as I said it is useful for defense as well."[/color]
